THE GARDEN ISLAND TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 15, 1914
TIME TO RESTORE
THE SUGAR DUTY
The following editorial appear
ing in the Washington (D. C.)
Herald, just to ha ml, strikes at the
main points contained editorially
in lasi week's Garprx Isi.axp;
but on account of additional facts
on the same subject it is presented
in full:
Of all the products of daily con
sumption which hae advanced in
price ince war began in Europe
sugar easily takes the lead, having
almost doubled in cost to the con
sumer in the last ten days. The
enactment of the Underwood tariff
bill dealt a staggering blow to the
sugar producing industry of the
United S'.atts. reduced the nation
al revenues 55n,0'X'.OOii but failed
to reduce the cost of the product
to the consumer to anv ippreciable
extent. The outbreak of the war
finds us with our own sugar in
dustry paralyzed and our people
forced to pav famine prices for su
gar without putting one additional
penny in the Treasury,
With importations of all pro
ducts from Europe practically sus
pended, cutting off our customs
revenues from that source, the ad
ministration is confronted with the
problem of raising $100,000,000
annually bv additional taxation.
With the income tax already in
operation, to offset the reduction
in customs revenue brought about
bv the Underwood bill, and with
food prices soaring to unheard of
heights the government is at its
wits ends to discover a means of
raising the money. It seems nl
uiost in evitable that it must re
store customs duties in somedirec
tions. While our trade with Eu
rope is pra ticallv shut off, we are
still importing valuable cargoes
from other parts of the world and
these should be made to restore
our depleted revenues to a con
siderable extent. Above all, the
dnty on sugar should be promptly
restored, not primarily because of
any immediate revenue that may
thus be produced, but in order to
rehabilitate the suar producing
industry in this country. It may
be argued that the prevailing war
prices offer sufficient encourage
ment for the resumption of pro
duction, but producers who have
been driven out of business by the

An account of the closing eve
nings of the Juvc lile Hostonians
in Iihue was unavoidably crowded
out of last issue. The Saturday
night show was before almost a
packed house. Monday evening s
audience was not so large, on ac
count of threating weather. Hoth
of the entertainments were verv
much enjoyed .
Tuesday afternoon the company
was treated to a picnic at the re
sidence of lion. J. H. Conev, manv
of them also going in surfing.
At the Nnviiiwili landing Mr.
and Mrs. Lang and all of the play
ers, including the musicians, were
decorated with leis. which were
provided by the committee on en
tertainment.
The exact amount turned over
to the Hostonians after all of the
committee's expenses were paid
was J8S8.95. This was regarded
as iiiite satisfactory, inasmuch as
the guarantee had been JSO0. The
money was all in and was paid ov

Prof. Jaggars Lecture
Prof. T. A. laggar, the volcano
logist, was not favored with an
overlarge audience in Lihue Social
last Wednesday evening for hi
illustrated lecture on Sakurajima
volcano, but it was an intelligent
and appieciatsve gathering. The
colored slides exhibitted were par
ticularly interesting, while the
motion films of the eruption gave
a clear idea of the phenomenon.
SUBSTITUTE FOR
tar'ff law and forced into other
enterprises cannot be expected to
return to the sugar indus'rv mere
ly to take advantage of an emer
gency, with the prospect of being
left in their original plight when
it passes. The sugar industry can
only be rehabilitated by a perman
ent tariff provision to insure it a
profitable existence.
The sacrifice of $30,000,000, m
nuallv sugar duties, with no bene
fit accruing to the consumer, was
a mistake which the administra
tion must have recognized by this
time. Now is its opportunity l
rectify it.

CIRCUS PLANNED
SPRECKELS DITCH
Program For 1915 Carnival To
Be Completed. Says
Director-General
I Special Correspondence. I
Honolulu--"The fact that I may
not be able to secuie from Ger
many the several hundred costumes
intended for the Circus Comitie,
one of the main featutes of the
Mid-Pacific Cat nival next year
does not mean that the probable
postponement of this event is going
to leave a hole in the program.
said James 1). Dougherty, director
geniral of the 1915 celebration, to
day. "I am now making plans for
smother event which, if necessary,
can be substituted for the Circus
Cotniiue and which doubtless will
be just sis interesting and attractive."
A short time ago the carnival
directors authorized Mr. Dougher
ty t o purchase from Germany,
through II. Hackfeld and Com
pany, several hundred unique and
picturesque costumes and effects
for t lie proposed circus, to cost
4700 m irks. Owing to the war in
Europe, Hackfeld and Company
have notified Mr. Dougherty that
it probably will be impossible to
have these costumes made.
"It may be possible that the
trouble in Europe will cease to
such an extent that the costumes
may be made ami shipped here,"
sas the director-general. "How
ever, in case they cannot be secur
ed, another attraction will be ar
ranged to take the place of the cir
cus. Meanwhile, the carnival plans
are progressing most .satisfactory. "
Mr. Dougherty expects within
a few days to commence the selec
tion of chairmen of the various
committee which will assist him
in making arrangements for the
various crnival events. Owing to
Ins experience with former carni
vals, George Angus probably will
be asked to take the chairmanship
of the committee on the Mardi
Grsis ball which will be held in the
National Guard Armory The Mar

was an unusual success, and the one

Savs the Maui News:
Hy the pressure of his finger up

Pinkhsi.in will ! ing into use for
the first lime, the great new half
million Oollsir irrigation project of
the East Maui Irrigation Company
Two hundred or more Delegates to
the Third Civic Convention will
witness this interesting event, and
with the Governor will witness the
first surge of water through the
big ditch on its wnv to give life to
the Puuncne plantation, miles
a way.
This is one of the features of the
Civic Convert-on, which 'he com
mittee in charge of the arrange
ments is now considering. It is the
suggestion of President E. F. Hald
win, and in all likelihood will be
! carried out in connection with the
visit of the delegate to the Kuisiha
homestead district on Sunday,
October 4. The ditch to be opened
is the relocated Haiku ditch, or as
it is commonly known the old
Sprcckels ditch. Work on the big
project has been progressing stead
ily for over two years. It is now
virtually completed, and, accord
ing to President Baldwin will be
ready to carry water by the time
the big convention is held.
The waterway is for th most
part tunnels, completely concrete
lined, and will bring water from
Kailua, a distance of nearly 20
miles, to the plantation. Where the
ditch cuts through the homestead
tract, it is the idea to have arrange
ments made by which the Govern
or may open the gate, some six
miles away, and the visitors may
see the flow of water when it first
arrives. At the same place, it is
the intention that the delegates
shall be served to lunch by the
homesteaders.
